Mesha Rashi Meaning
Mesha rashi (Aries) spans 0° to 30° of the sidereal zodiac. Its symbol is the ram, its ruling planet is Mars (Mangal), and it is a fire sign. It covers Ashwini, Bharani and the first pada of Krittika. In panchang, the Moon's rashi gives the daily Chandra rashi, and the Sun's entry into Mesha is Mesha Sankranti.
In Simple Terms
Mesha Rashi is Aries, the 1st sign of the sidereal zodiac. Its exact use depends on the wider panchang context: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, vaara, and local sunrise.
